Potential of areas protected for surface water storage to mitigate the impacts of climate change on drinking water supply

Ing. Adam Vizina, Ph.D., Ing. Roman Kožín, Ing. Petr Vyskoč and Ing. Hana Nováková, Ph.D. – 1/2023

In the Czech Republic, areas morphologically, geologically and hydrologically suitable for surface water storage to mitigate the adverse effects of floods and droughts are defined through the General Plan for Surface Water Accu-mulation Areas. In the context of climate change, these locations create potential for possible adaptation measures. This article describes the assessment of the potential of selected sites for water supply under climate change condi-tions by means of hydrological and water balance modelling.

Balance of groundwater resources and demands for human consumption during climate change conditions

RNDr. Hana Prchalová, Ing. Petr Vyskoč, Ing. Adam Vizina, Ph.D. and Ing. Hana Nováková, Ph.D. – 5/2022

This article presents the results of the assessment of the possible impact of climate change on groundwater abstraction for human consumption between 2041 and 2060.

Preservation of drinking water demand from water reservoirs in climate change conditions

Ing. Adam Vizina, Ph.D., Ing. Petr Vyskoč, Ing. Martina Peláková, Ing. Jiří Picek, Ing. Adam Beran, Ph.D. and Ing. Roman Kožín – 3/2021

This study presents interim results of an evaluation of a potential climate change impact on the preservation of drinking water demand provided by water reservoirs in the timeframe of the year 2050. Hydrological and water sources and demands balance procedures have been applied, including modelling of the storage ability of water resources and water supply systems.

Draft content of the drought and water scarcity plan in the Czech Republic

Ing. Radek Vlnas – 5/2018

The paper presents the draft of the plan for drought and water scarcity in the Czech Republic. The plan is a basic document of drought protection. It serves to coordinate activities in a given area during drought and water shortages.

Interview with experts on the topic of water resource protection zones

Ing. Robert Kořínek, Ph.D. – 6/2017

The interview deals with the analysis of the current situation in the area of water protection zones often discussed today. The questions are answered by experts Ing. Jiří Novák of Vodárenská akciová společnost, a. s., Brno and Ing. Petra Oppeltová, Ph.D., from the Mendel University in Brno.

Impact of drought and water scarcity on water use assessment

Ing. Petr Vyskoč, RNDr. Hana Prchalová and Ing. Jiří Dlabal – 4/2017

Exist tools for water balance, time series of water abstractions and their season variability, difference between permitted and real abstractions and impact of drought in 2015 were analysed and assessed in subtask Impact of Drought on Water Use Assessment.

Policy of Protection from impacts of drought and water scarcity in the Czech Republic – consultation and processing

RNDr. Tomáš Hrdinka, Ph.D., Ing. Magdalena Nesládková, Ing. Tereza Davidová, Ph.D. and RNDr. Pavel Punčochář, CSc. – 4/2017

In the context of a severe drought period, which has started in 2014, an inter-ministerial commission WATER-DROUGHT was established to prepare a strategic policy document on protection from impacts of drought and water scarcity in the Czech Republic.
